I'M Allergic To My Mother-In-Law

I admit it, I'm allergic to my mother-in-law
She gives me hives and makes me sneeze
I've even been known to cough alot
And, sometimes, I might even wheeze

I mean it, that woman drives me crazy
My face distorts and I twitch
Even the smell of her stinky perfume
Will  just always make me itch

Even if she calls me on the telephone
Her voice just drives me insane
Try to imagine a "moose on crack"
Then you'll understand my pain

That woman even thinks she's Hitler
She even has that silly mustache
And anytime I see her coming
Out the door I go, in a flash

Okay, I know you think I exaggerate
But I'm telling you, these are the facts
The woman is truly out to get me
I can tell by the way that she acts

Now you probably think this is funny
But remember the words that I've said
She'll be the only one laughing
When they find her son-in-law dead

Oh my goodness, Larry. What an image you have created of this woman in your poems! Sure hope your words are in jest; coping with her must be quite the test. Enjoyed! Love, Carolyn

From this poem and all the references to her in the past, she must be some piece of work!
